Cap.1 – PR ESE NT ATION

MAGNETER PRO belongs to MODUL LINE, the new type of electromedical

instruments for physiotherapy, that can combined together up to 3 different therapies

in the same machine. The reduced dimensions, the facility of use and the versatility

are the principal characteristics of this innovative line of products.

1 . 1 – W h a t i s M A G N E T E R P R O

The constant search in the sector of the medical devices has brought to the creation

of the new system for magnetotherapy, constituted by the generator MAGNETER

PRO. The innovative system of the software, electronic cards of small dimensions

inserted inside the instrument, allow the generation of magnetic fields to therapeutic

purpose for the treatment of common pathologies (lesions, accidents, illnesses)

through the use of preset programs ready to use.

The possibility to adjourn the device and the programs, the technological innovation

and the facility of employment make it an extremely versatile and innovative

product in the electromedical instruments field.

1 . 2 – W h a t i s M A G N E T E R P R O f o r ?

With MAGNETER PRO it is possible to apply magnetic fields with benefits effects

on the reconstruction of the bones and, in general, for the regeneration of damaged

tissues. Checking the effects and the course of the therapy, it is possible to suit the

therapy for the demands of the patient.

1 . 3 – W h o c a n u s e M A G N E T E R P R O ?

MAGNETER PRO finds in the medical field (physiotherapy particularly) the fittest

environment to express completely his/her own potentialities. Nevertheless, for the

simplicity of use, it is usable, over that from physicians and therapists of the

rehabilitation, also from who desires to use it at home, thanks to the immediateness

and versatility of the product.

ATTENTION: for home use follow carefully the indications of the therapist.

Cap.2 – I N DI C ATI ON S A N D C ON TR AI N DI C ATI O NS

2 . 1 – I n d i c a t i o n s

The pathologies most common that are taken care of with the magnetic fields they

are those to load of the apparatus osteo-muscle-tendineo and, particularly they are

suitable in the treatment of:

periostitis;

tenonitis;

arthrosis;

muscular contractures;

cicatrizations;

organized oedemas.

Besides, the magnetic fields preserve today also one born validity in the treatment of

rheumatologic abarticular alterations as the shoulder periarthritis, the epicondylitis

of the elbow and other pathologies, thanks to the analgesi, fybrolitic and

decontracturant effect.

The interested structures mainly suffer the most greater traumas in the physical

activity but, in many cases, they can also be caused by the aging (rheumatisms,

muscular ipotrofia, lack of equilibrium for the scarce movement); these cases, are

particularly in strong increase for progressive rising of the middle age, not followed

by a suitable improvement of the quality of the life.

In the sporting disciplines the most frequent traumas strike the articulations of the

knee and the ankle and they can be treated with the magnetic fields through of the

daily and repeated applications for a certain number of sessions. The treatments are

effected above all to analgesic purpose propedeutico to the sessions of kinesitherapy.

2 . 2 – C o n t r a i n d i c a t i o n s

The magnetic fields have the same side effects of the phisic therapies that act with

the endogenous production of heat:

degenerative osteoporosis;

presence of metallic fragments;

varicose veins;

thrombosis and acute thromboflebitis;

arteriopathologies with hemorrhages;

menstruations;

tumors;

tuberculosis;

acute inflammatory trials;

cutaneous lesions;

alterations of the sensibility.

In the applications of magnetic fields, the use is dissuaded on:

specialized tissues (fertile metafisis, testicles, ovaries), because they can be

damaged;

avoid the use in cardiac area and, particularly, in presence of electric equipments

(pace-maker), because it can cause permanent damages.

NOTES:

Particular precautions must be adopted when applications are effected on the

back bone of patients, with diagnosis of laminectomia, for possible damages to

the bone marrow.

The applications cannot be effected in the immediate proximities of the ocular

globes and the uterus (abdomen / lumbar zone) in case of pregnancy for the risk

to provoke the phenomenon of the cavitation, dosing hips corrected.

The presence of articular prosthesis and a halves of metallic synthesis is

problematic because they can absorb a superior quantity of magnetic fields and

be deteriorated or cause damages to the adjacent structures.

The use of this physical therapy is dissuaded the treatment of pathologies of the

juvenile age and, above all, childish (ex. fertile cartilages of conjugation).

Apply the magnetic therapy following your doctor’s indications. Generally

magnetotherapy is used every day and, if necessary, 2 or 3 sessions a day after some

hours. At the end of the programmed therapy if the problem is still present talk to

the doctor.

5 . 2 – I n t e n s i t y r e g u l a t i o n

The intensity can be increased, during the program, to produce more effects or

decreased in case of overheating or feeling of pain.

NOTE: if the intensity or its regulation cause elevated heating or pain in the treated

zone, it is necessary to reduce immediately the intensity of stimulation or eventually

to interrupt the application.

Recommended intensities for most common applications:

Zone of application Intensity adviced

Bones 50 G

Muscles 40-50 G

Tendons / Ligaments 30-40 G

Joints / Cervical / Lumbago 30-50 G

Prolonged applications (+ di 60 minutes) 20-30 G

5 . 3 – B o d y p o s i t i o n d u r i n g t h e s e s s i o n s

The ideal position of the body during the sessions is relaxed and supine or prone

according to the application zone. The position must be maintained during all the

session to facilitate the effects produced by the magnetic field, particularly the

increased local blood flow, consequence of the induced heating in the treated zone.

Cap.6 – POW ER S U PPLY

MAGNETER PRO must be supplied by power mains with the provided cable.

Do particular attention in the employment of the solenoids not to compromise the

effectiveness of the treatment.

Use the instrument only with electric structures conforming to the actual safety

Norms.

The instrument has degree of protection IP20 (see Chap. "Technical features")

and do not use it close to liquids, because it's not protected from their entry.

Do not use close to cellular telephones (maintain at least one meter of distance).

To operate close (less than 1 meter) to an instrument with short waves therapy or

microwaves, because it can produce instability in the emission.

Don't simultaneously connect the patient with the MAGNETER PRO and with a

surgical instrument HF, to avoid dangers for the patient and for the instrument.

The device works according to its specifications if the environment is maintained

to a temperature between the 5° and the 40° C and with damp inferior to the

80%. The same conditions must be maintained during the transport and the store.

In case of malfunctions and breakdowns, it is opportune to exclusively send the

device to the house builder.

It's recommended not to operate in proximity of inflammable substances.

Don't use gel and different accessories from those furnished in endowment.

It's important to inform the patient on the type of feeling to perceive during the

therapy, to immediately intervene or interrupt the session switching off the

device or removing the solenoids, in case of different or uncorrect perceptions.

If the power or its regulation cause elevated heating or pain in the treated zone it

is necessary to immediately reduce the intensity of stimulation or eventually

interrupt the application.
